Tsunami at Kamaishi port, Iwate Prefecture

The 311 Tsunami at Kamaishi port in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Notes: This video is somehow unique, since it shows the actual comings and goings of the tsunami and not just the arrival of the biggest wave. It starts a couple of minutes after the earthquake, probably somewhere around 2:50 and 2:55 pm and then goes on for at least one and a half hour, plus some footage of the night and the next day. You can see how the water level falls in the minutes after the earthquake, the sign of an approaching tsunami.
